What you can do with BigQuery MCP
Give your AI a governed path from warehouse discovery to SQL analysis and structured writes, without hiding the query, destination, or approval decision.

Answer warehouse questions with SQL
Turn plain-language questions into BigQuery SQL, join large datasets, and return compact tables or trends your AI can explain and reuse.
Analyze marketing data together
Compare paid media, analytics, CRM, product, and revenue data in one warehouse view, then carry the result into the rest of your Markifact stack.

Explore projects and datasets
List connected projects, inspect datasets, and find the right source before a query runs without making users memorize warehouse paths.
Understand tables and schemas
Review table metadata, field names, types, and modes so generated queries use the right columns and write payloads match the destination schema.

Create datasets, tables, and rows
Build a dataset, define a table schema, and insert validated rows with structured operations instead of asking an agent to assemble every mutation as raw SQL.
Keep writes under human control
Markifact pauses each create or insert operation for approval, showing the project, dataset, table, schema, and row payload before execution.
Use BigQuery in your favorite AI.
Plus your whole marketing stack
One MCP connection brings warehouse data, your marketing tools, and your preferred AI assistant into the same workflow.

BigQuery MCP prompt examples
Start with the warehouse task. Markifact can discover structure, analyze data, prepare destinations, and queue controlled writes.
Turn warehouse data into decisions.
- >
Compare spend, revenue, and ROAS by acquisition channel for this quarter.
- >
Build a weekly cohort report for first-time customers and show 30-day repeat purchase rate.
- >
Find campaigns whose spend increased while attributed revenue fell week over week.
- >
Join ad cost with order data and rank products by contribution margin after media spend.
What a session actually looks like
One request can inspect the destination schema, run the analysis, and prepare summary rows without skipping the write decision.

Example session using bigquery_get_table_schema, bigquery_run_query, and bigquery_insert_rows. The insert waits for approval.
